Porovnání učenlivosti u koní
PEJCHOVÁ, Lea
The aim of this work was to compare the ability of horses to learn depending on their age, sex and breed. The ability to learn was tested on three different tasks: crossing a piece of canvas, passing through a narrow space and raking with one front leg on command. Further, horse´s memory, i.e. the ability to remember the three tasks and repeat them after a two-month pause was tested. The results show that horses are considerably teachable. The main factor affecting their learning ability was the age, since there were found differences among horses of different age groups. It was demonstrated that four horses from the group aged 1-4 years learned the tasks easier than the other ten horses older than 4 years. The breed proved to be also a significant factor which affects horse´s learning. The task based on passing through unknown space was learned faster by horses of cold-blooded breeds than warm-blooded breeds, e.g. a representative of Slovak warm-blooded didn´t learn this task at all. On the other hand, the task based on an immediate reaction to a trainer´s command was adopted faster by horses of warm-blooded breed. As the least important factor was evaluated the horse´s sex. It was found out that geldings needed a little less number of attempts for passing all tasks but the difference was insignificant. It was confirmed that horse´s memory is on a high level. Horses remember the learned tasks very well, even after a two-month pause. The results of horse´s memory tests according to their age, breed and sex are almost the same as the results of learning ability tests.

Gender positive teaching at the second grade of primary school
ŠANDEROVÁ, Eva
This thesis deals with gender aspects of teaching at the second grade of primary school. The impetus for the topic was our Bachelor´s thesis in which we have already dealt with gender problematic but from a different perspective. Now we have decided to focus on education and describe gender load of teaching. The main aim of the thesis is to determine whether the approach of chosen male and female teachers in educating at the second grade of primary schools is gender-correct. A partial aim is to bring the topic of gender problematic as such to the readers who are not familiar with that. The theoretical part begins with defining key terms which must be known to understand gender in general. The following chapter deals with the specific gender manifestation in the school environment such as, pedagogical communication between a male/ a female student and a male/ a female teacher, the problematic of school evaluation, gender (in)correctness of textbooks and we also focus on gender (im)balance of teaching staff. In the practical part using the method of observation we examine male and female teachers of two chosen primary schools; namely the gender sensitivity of their pedagogical approach. In the conclusion of the thesis we make a selection of gender-correct textbooks and teaching materials which can serve as a utility for beginning teachers men and women.

KLEČKOVÁ, Petra
The given Bachelor´s Thesis describes gender issues in social work areas, despecially with regard to the gender stereotypes of female social workers and a male social worker in České Budějovice working with a target group consisting of male and female seniors. The main objective of the thesis is to find out about their awareness of gender and gender stereotypes occurring in social work areas and to characterise the influence of gender stereotypes during the execution of their duties. The theoretical part includes an introduction explaining the gender issues and general terms related to the given topic including the development of the gender issue within a social and historical context and its interconnection with the present form of social work in the Czech Republic. A definition of the given context represents the basis for the second part of the thesis dealing with research. Its contents describe the elaboration, analysis and assessment of the executed semi-structured interviews and observations. The author focused on four thematic areas related to the issue of gender stereotypes in terms of accomplished qualitative research, which were later compared to the given observation. The results show a remarkable difference in the perception of gender stereotypes by a male social worker and female social workers while dealing with male and female clients and the author of this thesis. Research also demonstrates that the gender issue and gender stereotypes assessment in social work with seniors is rather difficult due to different education, as well as different cultural and social periods. The results in the given thesis might be useful for both professionals and the public in order to realize and understand gender and gender stereotypes in social work areas and not only while working with male and female seniors. The acquired data may be used for further research and removal of gender stereotypes in social work areas.
